This is by far the absolute best tutorial video of the Roland SPD-SX ever. Ive been searching for a video like this for quite a while. Thank you so much for the tutorial. I have one question, I notice that on a lot of the tutorials there is red tape on the edges of the unit, They don't appear to be the Special edition, so what is the purpose for this tape?
@TimBuell2 жыл бұрын
Thank you so much for the kind words. Glad this is helping ya! The tape is gaff tape I put there so that during a gig when they black the stage out or the lighting is super dark I can still see the edge of the SPD haha

We started using SPD-SX because we could get the sound we wanted with our system an issue my drummer is having is double firing and no ghost notes how do I make it more realistic for him
@TimBuell2 жыл бұрын
Double firing and ghost notes are a threshold/sensitivity issue. To get a more realistic feel (with ghost notes) you need to lower the sensitivity threshold for the pads (which you can do in the SPD-SX settings). The double edge sword is that lowering the sensitivity will make double firing more frequent and/or easy to do. So you kinda have to pick your poison.

@keithwhite8172 Жыл бұрын
How do you make it so you can hear the sound you need,before i put it on a pad. As it is at the moment when i select the sound i don't hear what it soubds like,until it's actually alocated to a pad.

hey i noticed that he pads 1 2 3 are way less sensitive for some reason on my machine ..i have been adjusting sensitivity but maybe you discovered a pro tip along the way to remedy this ? i'd like to use them more than i do its a little annoying trying to not to beat the hell of the pad to get sound . ( i'm referring to the top little pads )
@TimBuell Жыл бұрын
Yep! Unfortunately that is a defect/oversight in the design. Kinda a bummer - I just always assign things to those pads that don’t require any dynamics or finesse haha

Tim, I've searched all over and can't find any good guides to each of the Kit Effects and how they can be adjusted. Can you please address 1. That one pad/trigger can only have one effect applied to it at a time and 2. All the different effects (Reverb, Slicer, etc. ).

@tkknows2 жыл бұрын
@@TimBuell Tim, thanks for pointing that out. I just watched and found that very helpful. Can you do a dedicated video on the Kit Effects versus Master Effects. Example: have camera on the screen itself showing how you navigate to kit effects, how you apply it to go through the master versus sub and phones. Show how you take Fx1 and route through specific pads versus Fx2 routing through other pads. And then can you walk through screens of the effects themselves and what each of the changes to a given effect do? No one's covered in this depth. Again, your videos are really helpful. Can you also do a video on mixing in a click. Do you pan right or left or have it centered? And then can you do one on your own personal monitor mix when you're playing a full kit? What percent in your mix is bass versus electric versus vocals and keys. Do you leverage panning in your mix? What do *you* like in your personal mix? For your own kit, how much of your kit do you feed through that mix? I have a lot of ideas ;)

I think there are 300 sounds that come with the Roland, and you can load on whatever other sounds you want. I think the SPD-SX is a GREAT tool for live performance.
